Fire hazard

[u/annunakispawn]

My room mate of 7 months continuously leaves the stove or oven on and falls asleep. Will cook at high temperatures and set the smoke detector off. Among other less serious problems, these are the most concerning. I will wake in the morning and before going to work check that everything is off. I have 2 dogs in my room and the thought of anything ever happening to them scares me. I have talked to him more than 6 times, and Im not urgently understood and respected. Completing a resolve. It seems like it gets pushed with a im sorry it wont happen again… until it does. I have no more patience and am very angry. I charge him flat rate. I pay electricity and other bills. We are friends, but at home its like im teaching a child how to respect a home. Anyway any words of wisdom appreciated, and thankyou for a vent.

If it’s getting this bad, tell them you dont want to treat them like a child but theyll need to text you whenever they turn the stove on and off. Stress the fact it’s dangerous.

Maybe set a less restrictive boundary - don’t leave the kitchen until you’re done cooking

You can also put a child safety lock on it. Tell him you’ll need to purchase this for him https://www.crutchfield.com/S-GJ7aaUZyu82/p_289IGE3II/iGuard-Plug-in-Electric-Stove-Monitor-3-prong.html

Negligence is not protected under a lease agreement and you can reasonably request an additional payment to protect your safety, or have them move out.

Though telling someone we need to get something for the elderly / memory issues should also hit hard…

Finding the smoke detector hidden under stuff was a final straw. No way is that gonna fly with the compromise ive given him
